(3 Jun 1846 - 2 Apr 1906)
John A., the third child of Thomas Shelby and Louisa (Pettyjohn) Kirkpatrick, was born in Iowa County, Wisconsin, circa 1846 (although the 1870 census suggests 1842). He died 3 April 1906 in Wausau, Wisconsin.
He married Josephine Sylvia Cramer on 2 December 1868 at Boscobel, Grant County, Wisconsin. She was born circa 1845 in Indiana. John at this time resided at Hickory Grove, Wisconsin. His wife Josephine was apparently really named Isiphena or Isiphene, but chose to change this through usage to Josephine. Josephine was the daughter of Joel and Hannah Cramer and she was born at New Castle, Indiana. She died, apparently at the home of her son William at Sandpoint, Bonner County, Idaho, 18 October 1907.

Kirkpatrick was a farmer, almost 18 years of age, standing 5 feet 10 inches, with blue eyes, light complexion, and light hair.
There were ten (10) children born of the marriage.
